live reading
Author reads aloud
A live reading is a performance where a text is read aloud before an audience, typically featuring authors reading from their own work, actors performing a screenplay or play, or performers interpreting poetry.
The emphasis is on the unmediated, real-time delivery: The bookstore hosts live readings every Thursday.
In paranormal contexts, a live reading is a psychic consultation conducted in person rather than through recorded or written means.
